Suitable for: 🔵 Intermediate riders and above - comfortable with green trails and moving into blue trails or comfortable with blue trails. Rides are usually 20-30km in length but bear in mind there are longer fire road portions at Hidden Vale because of its scope. There are some long uphills and very long flowy downhills (think 3km - 5km long), but only a couple of pinch hills.
Location: Addictive Hidden Vale Adventure Park. Longer, fun, flowy and rocky, loamy, sandy and red soil trails on the mostly green and some blue trails. It’s a spectacular park and so many of our club sisters just love to ride here! Entry is $20 (pay on day) or a season pass for $99. Good quality e-bikes available for hire at HVAP but pre-booking is essential.
Time: Rollout is at 9am sharp, so aim to be there by 8.30 to get ready, use the ladies, pay the entrance fee and get a pre-ride briefing.
Bring: Auscycling Insurance (see below for more details), water/electrolytes, snacks, sunscreen, tools, helmet, capable MTB and your sense of humour 🤣.
